🌌 The Ancients and the Origins of Cyberspace

The video script delves into the backstory of 'Sonic Frontiers', starting with the Ancients, an intelligent civilization from another planet who resembled Chaos from 'Sonic Adventure'. They possessed 'Cocos', which acted as lucky charms. The Ancients faced the threat of a beast called 'the End', forcing them to flee their destroyed home world using 'chaos emeralds'. These emeralds led them to Earth, where they evolved and created 'cyberspace' to preserve their memories and knowledge. Cyberspace became a haven, allowing them to access their civilization's data as if they never left home. However, Earth was a challenging environment, prompting the Ancients to develop technology to combat the End, including the creation of the Titans, powered by chaos emeralds. Despite their efforts, many Ancients were lost, and a backup plan was devised to use the chaos emeralds with the Master Emerald on Angel Island. The script also explores the transformation of the Ancients on Angel Island into an unrecognizable species due to radiation from the Master Emerald, potentially linking them to Chaos, and the storage of their souls within the Cocos.

Transcripts

oh listen

I said let him have it back

the story of Sonic Frontiers can be a

little hard to follow and even after

beating the game you could still have

several questions about it that said in

this video today we're gonna go through

Sonic frontier's story and the story

related topics and try to answer a

couple of those questions and make sense

of the nonsense grab your popcorn

because here we go our Story begins long

long ago with this group of people known

as the Ancients and they lived on a

different planet far away from Earth

this group was very intelligent and they

looked a lot similar to the creature we

know as chaos and Sonic Adventure not to

mention they also have these little

things in their chest known as Cocos and

these things are supposed to be like

Lucky Charms for them and we'll talk a

bit about more of those later but anyway

this highly Advanced civilization known

as the Ancients had a lot of problems

and one of them being this giant Beast

known as the end the end was such a

powerful force that it forced the

Ancients out of their home world as it

was destroyed in the process however the

Ancients were able to successfully

Escape because of these gems known as

the chaos emeralds and using these

special gems on their spaceships they

were able to escape and find a new

planet known as Earth it is kind of hard

to say that the Ancients found earth

when it's kind of the other way around

the chaos emeralds actually led the

agents to Earth because of their

connection to the Master Emerald they

were reacting to the mastermind's power

and were just drawn to it after the

successful landing on Earth the Ancients

began to change as a species they became

more aware of their surroundings and

also a bit more cautious as they created

cyberspace this area that would be able

to harness their memories and everything

that their Planet had to offer before

was destroyed cyberspace contains all

kinds of data about the civilization and

for them it was almost as if they could

never miss home because they could just

go there whenever they wanted to however

the unfortunate truth was they were

stuck here on Earth and this was like a

really hard planet for them to adjust to

because there was so much stuff

different about it the reason why Sonic

is able to download these digital Maps

into his brain during the events of

Sonic Frontiers is because the Ancients

created this so they could all have a

universal knowledge of what's going on

around the world or at least around the

Starfall Islands but like I said before

the Ancients also got a bit more

cautious as well because what they also

began to do was build technology to

fight against that creature that blew up

their home planet before the end

unfortunately not every single plan the

Ancients had in mind really proved

effective against the end as a lot of

them got wiped out by it needless to say

this Celestial being proved a huge thorn

in the size of the Ancients so they

began to create a new type of Technology

known as the Titans and you know them as

giganto wyvern Knight and supreme what

made these Titans so strong is that they

were powered by chaos emeralds and they

were supposed to be piloted by an

ancient as well obviously here the

ultimate goal was to take down the end

however there was a backup plan at

played just in case this plan proved

unsuccessful a group of ancients decided

that if this plan were to fail they

would take the chaos emeralds to the

Master Emerald on Angel Island anyway

the Ancients continue with their initial

plan with going into space with the

Titans trying to defeat the end this

plan much like many of their others

ended up failing but one of the Ancients

had an idea what if they they could

somehow bind the Titan with the end and

seal them together into cyberspace and

that's exactly what the Supreme Titan

did but at what cost as the agent inside

lost their life so while this plan did

prove successful it was successful with

a lot of casualties either way the

backup plan was in full swing as some of

the Ancients moved to Angel Island

taking the chaos emeralds with them the

Ancients that moved to Angel Island were

actually affected by some sort of

strange radiation which I believe is

from the Master Emerald which turned

them into an unrecognizable species

which I think is the Chow this would

ultimately explain the relation between

chaos and the Ancients as actually it's

not chaos who's a deformed child but the

Chao who are deformed ancients very

interesting but anyway the Ancients who

didn't go to Andrew Island ended up just

kind of dying out and their souls were

stored inside at the Cocos and this is

what I mean when I was going to go back

to them later because the Cocos were

actually more than just a very nice

looking good luck charm they actually

were changed and modified to kind of

Harbor information about each individual

ancient but that pretty much covers the

entire story of the past of what went on

during this time period in Sonic

Frontiers and the Sonic the Hedgehog

lore to its entirety which kind of now

takes us to what we see here in Sonic

Frontiers at face value with Sonic and

his friends now a lot of this really

doesn't need much explaining but Sonic

and his friends pretty much end up there

because the chaos emeralds have been

gathering at the Starfall islands for

unknown reasons to them however on their

way to the Starfall Islands the three of

them get sucked into a wormhole which

was cyberspace only Sonic was able to

successfully escape the reason Sonic was

able to escape cyberspace is because it

was able to become a construct of his

memories allowing him to kind of speed

through and get out of there very

quickly and we know Sonic is fast oh

yeah so what's going on with Eggman here

at the very beginning of the game well

he actually finds his way to the star

violence before anybody else and decides

to implement his own AI system into the

cyberspace to kind of milk out all the

data he possibly can to gain control of

the Titans and every other monster he

can possibly find however this actually

was not to eggman's benefit as his AI

system was kind of faulty it wasn't

exactly what he was looking for as it

had some human-like characteristics

added to it and because of that reason

it wasn't able to perform at Peak

efficiency and this is really just

because Eggman was kind of rushing his

process earlier in the Sonic Frontiers

prologue comic we can see him basically

telling his AI to pretty much just

integrate itself without actually

testing further if it can actually do

that this would explain why in Sonic

Frontiers Sage prioritizes protecting

Eggman rather than defeating Sonic

throughout most of the time spent in

Sonic Frontiers Eggman spends his time

actually trapped in cyberspace because

Sage will not let him out just to keep

him safe and this goes as far to say

with all the other Sonic characters as

well like Amy Knuckles and Tails Sage

traps all these individuals into

cyberspace just so they don't get hurt

by the following events like the end

returning so when Sage was telling Sonic

to leave in this game she wasn't saying

that she hates Sonic or anything she was

literally telling him just to get out of

here because she doesn't want to see him

get hurt she even quite literally says

to Sonic in this game towards the very

end you were not meant to come here the

only reason that Sage was trying to get

rid of Sonic in the beginning like

totally you know destroy him with the

Titans or whatever was because Sonic was

the one who kept trying to fight them

and actually kept proving successful

because Sonic kept beating these Titans

and tearing down the Walls between

Dimensions Sage thought that the best

possible move here would probably be

just to get rid of them all together but

in the end it turns out that working

together was the only solution to truly

get rid of the end there's a couple

other story elements that I do want to

talk about here but I don't really know

where to put them in the video so this

will just kind of be like a quick little

story dump so remember this symbol this

symbol that I'm showing on the screen

this little weird thing that we saw in

the beginning with the Sonic Frontiers

trailers and all kinds of other stuff

like that this is supposed to be a

symbol of peace and Remembrance this was

a symbol for the ancients for when the

Coco has passed away and the Ancients

would kind of just Ascend and move on

this symbol is also seen at the end of

the game with Dr Eggman when he's typing

on his computer because it represents

Sage now too because she also was

infused with the data of the Ancients so

when she kind of passed on and moved on

this symbol also was relevant to her

because she was also able to receive

that piece after giving her life to save

her Creator however it's likely that the

end of this game probably means that

Eggman will not let her rest peacefully

as he'll probably just bring her back to

life to further reflect Sage's kind of

countenance change is when she sees

Sonic and Tails be close friends and

kind of realize that that's everything

she's ever wanted as she actually begins

to cry showing human-like emotions when

she begins to reflect and change her

color to Blue instead of red she begins

to Showcase that she once again is

defective acid and Sonic frontier's

prequel comic Eggman says I take the

time to program lifelike personalities

into some minions and all it does is

frustrate me once just once I'd like one

of my Creations to fill me with pride

instead of regret although he does

create sage in a human-like way with

lifelike personnel counties he does

actually show pride in his creation as

he's even ashamed to see her finally

defeated although the interesting thing

is before Sage actually merged with

cyberspace she actually was one without

any human-like qualities at all but it

was once that she got merged she was

able to develop all kinds of different

traits and I believe a lot of those

emotions were probably untapped until

she was able to fully realize them by

having several encounters with Sonic and

also Dr Eggman but that's basically all

of the information that you really need

to know that's kind of essential for

Sonic Frontiers I could have spent time

and kind of went over the entire story

itself while you play the game but a lot

of it was pretty self-explanatory at

that point but getting all the other

side information like the backstory

behind the Ancients the Cocos and

basically Sage as a character can be a

little bit complicated so I wanted to

kind of make that a little bit easier to

understand hopefully this video really

helped in that department of kind of

understanding the story of the game and

maybe even gives you more of an

appreciation towards it and if it did

don't really leave a like subscribe on

the video because you know I would

really appreciate it that said thank you

all again so much for watching this is

our signing out have a super blessed day

y'all why are you playing that trash
